A favourite for European golfers, Portugal’s Silver Coast is benefitting from significant investment by Praia D’El Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort as it bounces back after a government-enforced Covid lockdown.
The leading Portuguese venue has seen a swell of interest from players across Europe in recent months following a period of continued investment in its five-star golf and lifestyle facilities.
Praia D’El Rey – which features two 18-hole championship courses, the resort’s namesake layout and West Cliffs Golf Links – has enjoyed increased interest from golfers in the UK, with bookings for March and April showing double-digit growth over the same period in 2019, pre lockdown.
António Ferreira da Silva, golf sales director at Praia D’El Rey Marriott Golf & Beach Resort, said: “After all the challenges of the last two years, it’s very encouraging to see how strong bookings have been so far this year.
“With two world-class golf courses and continued investment in our hotel and resort facilities, we offer golfers outstanding value for money and for bookings to have increased in a number of different European markets bodes very well for the rest of 2022 and beyond.”
World-Class Golf
Situated on Portugal’s stunning Silver Coast, an hour north of Lisbon, and featuring an array of world-class golf and leisure facilities, Praia D’El Rey is regarded as one of Europe’s finest golf resorts.
Opened in 2017, and designed by Cynthia Dye, the 6,382m, par-72 West Cliffs course was created across 200 hectares of natural landscape, rolling sand dunes and coastal vegetation, and offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean from each hole.
Ranked in Europe’s top 30 courses, Praia D’El Rey’s 18-hole championship course – which was designed by Cabell Robinson – is set amidst a combination of lush pine forests and undulating dunes, and features spectacular views over the Atlantic and the Berlengas Islands beyond.
World-Class Leisure and Accommodation
As well as golf, Praia D’El Rey boasts an extensive array of impressive sports, leisure and accommodation facilities including a Marriott hotel, a wide selection of villas, a tennis academy, a luxury spa and health club and numerous watersports and restaurants.
Guests have a choice of five restaurants from which to choose, all serving the fresh and authentic produce for which Portugal is famous, while the comprehensive range of therapies and treatments on offer at the Kalyan Spa promise to restore energy and balance to the body after a day on the fairways.
